Tuskys Wareng Cross Country
The Tuskys Wareng Cross Country is an annual cross country running competition that takes place in November near Eldoret in Kenya. The name is derived from the sponsor, Tuskys Supermarket, which is based in Wareng County.
The event was inaugurated in December 2006 with its soft grassy course located in the Huruma area four kilometres west of the centre of Eldoret (a town renowned for long-distance running).〔Komen, Jonathan (2010-11-21).

Retrieved on 2011-11-27.〕 The first edition was known as the ''Tuskermatt Cross Country'', but this changed to its current title the year after.〔Macharia, David (2006-12-03).

Retrieved on 2011-11-27.〕 The competition's programme of events comprised two senior races (men's 12 km and women's 8 km) and two junior races (boy's 8 km and girl's 6 km). The competition quickly attracted a high number of top level runners in the region and by 2008 the senior men's race alone garnered some 250 entries. It developed into one of the major Kenyan annual races and Kipchoge Keino, head of Kenyan Olympic Committee, was present that year.〔Macharia, David (2008-11-30).

Although the event attracts almost exclusively Kenyan runners, the calibre of the competitors is very high, such is the country's strength internationally. World Cross Country champions Emily Chebet and Vivian Cheruiyot have both won the competition,〔Macharia, David (2010-11-22). (Cheruiyot and Rotich prevail at Tuskys Cross Country ). IAAF.
